Interact With ASH

ASH Booth

Located in the Exhibit Hall, the ASH Booth provides an opportunity to learn about the Society's resources and opportunities for hematologists at all career levels. ASH staff are available to answer questions about the Society's meetings, resources, and initiatives and to assist with membership applications and renewals.

While you are at the booth, pick up a free giveaway and the most recent issues of ASH publications, including Blood, The Hematologist, and ASH Clinical News.

Don't forget to ask about the product discounts available exclusively at the annual meeting.

ASH Store

ASH offers a variety of products to aid hematologists in their professional development. At the ASH Store, attendees can browse the latest ASH educational products which will be available for a discounted on-site rate.

Attendees will also be able to apply for or renew their membership at the ASH Store.

Network and Collaborate

Collaboration Rooms

Small conference rooms for 10 to 20 people will be available for attendees to meet in a more private space to better facilitate networking and collaboration. Rooms will be pre-set with a conference table and chairs, a flat screen monitor, and cables to connect laptops. Each attendee will be limited to one 45 minute reservation per day.

Interested in reserving a room?

The collaboration room request site will open September 25, 2019, at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time.

Reservations may also be made through the annual meeting mobile app closer to the meeting or on site in ASH Central.

Please note that space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Back-to-back reservations are prohibited, and no catering or additional audio visual equipment is permitted.

Collaboration rooms are intended for non-commercial attendees (physicians, researchers, etc.) to meet with each other. They are not designed nor available for industry representatives to conduct meetings of a commercial nature. Industry is welcome to request ancillary event space or exhibitor meeting rooms.

Hematology MeetUps

Multiple seating areas with tables and chairs will be placed in the lobby areas of the convention center to enable attendees to meet one another for informal, impromptu conversations and small meetings.

Look for "Hematology MeetUp" areas designated on the campus map to find the nearest location.

Gifts of all amounts to the ASH Foundation are always helpful and appreciated. With cumulative annual giving of $250 or more, you can access the ASH Foundation Donor Lounge during the annual meeting.

In addition, individuals with cumulative annual giving of $2,500 or more will receive an invitation to the President’s Reception in recognition of their support at that level. Finally, qualified donors are eligible for a selection of time-sensitive benefits associated with the registration process for the ASH annual meeting.

Services for Persons With Disabilities

ASH is committed to offering an accessible meeting environment for persons with disabilities. During the annual meeting registration process, please indicate any assistance you may require, and ASH staff will contact you to discuss your specific needs.

Resources for Parents

Child Care

For safety reasons, children under the age of 12 are not permitted in the exhibit hall or poster hall. Additionally, ASH prohibits children and infants in sessions, as they may distract the speakers and other attendees. Each year, ASH makes arrangements to provide subsidized child-care services during the ASH annual meeting, beginning on the Friday before the meeting. More information about child-care services at the 61st ASH Annual Meeting will be available mid-2019.

Lactation Rooms

Dedicated lounges will be available for nursing mothers in safe, accessible areas throughout the convention center. Each nursing mother’s lounge will provide a private, comfortable area equipped with lockable doors, furniture, and power outlets to use for pumping sessions during the ASH annual meeting.

A refrigerator will be available in the child care room for safe storage.

For exact lactation room locations, please refer to the annual meeting app or to the printed ASH Campus Map on site.
